I did some app un-installing with Titanium and got a bit happy with it, now my gallery keeps crashing on start up, does anyone know which apps are essential for gallery to work? e.g. collage or mediauploader. I'm not sure which one it is so if you know, please reply. Thanks.

You get it in the market.
Maybe you should use the search function.. just saying
I installed titanium back up and busybox like it asked but it still says not rooted. But busybox says its rooted.
Try installing SuperUser too.
thanks for that it works now. But for some reason when I try to uninstall creatouch it hangs and doesnt respond. Also anyone knw where the list of safe to remove applications are? Tried searching cant find it

That will keep reinstalling itself, so you need to also remove the apk from data/app-private with RootExplorer.

You can use THIS list as a guide, but everyone is different so what I might remove someone else may not and vice versa so use your own judgement when removing apps.

[sorry tried posting link, but im new and it doesn't allow me]
also do not touch the google stuff!!! specially gtalk. it's essential for communication between your phone and the android market, without it which you will not be able to download anything (as i learnt yesterday)
how do i remove them? with titanium backup? or a manual way? If so how?

With Titanium.
I wish you told me earlier. Now I have to reinstall everything.
I personally find that removing all the apps under the apps-private folder is the easiest and safest method. I just deleted them there and they are gone forever.
will try that out after my phone reinstalls. Oh well lesson learnt, so now ill be more cautious

That Link has the best solution...pick the apps you consider unwanted, move them to a temp folder, use your phone for a week, if there are no issues...rm the temp folder...
Before rm'ing, optionally you can do a backup of the temp folder to your PC, in case you need any apps later....
I find this method very reliable and issue-free
I am up and running, so I think I did everything right!
However...
Angry Birds won't open. I've installed from Market, from backup, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted...any other ideas?
Facebook app is glitchy.
My Nook app is force closing when I try to open a book...I'm thinking maybe I did something wrong...
Is there a way to remove the phone related apps and references?
I do miss the BN Library Shelves...I think I'll get over that though...or attempt a dual-boot.
Overall, it is so different than what I'm used to that it's a bit intimidating...but I'm sticking with it for a while due to all the over-the-top positive reviews here!
Nook app update...I had downloaded a book and it was in the notification list that it had finished...cleared it and the app is working now.

I know that Facebook version 1.5.3 had bugs that caused force closes on MANY devices. They released 1.5.4 last night to correct these issues, but I have not tested the new version myself. Others have said the app works great now. I downgraded to 1.5.2 which works fine, but I will try 1.5.4 later tonight.
Unfortunately I don't know about the other questions you had so hopefully someone else can help you there
Im no expert, but have you fixed permissions in rom manager? thats been known to stop force closes
I tried to fix permissions, but it says I don't have permission to do so...something's not quite right.
Yes, 1.5.3 caused problems for many. So far 1.5.4 works for me without any problems on my Droid X and Nook Color.

How are you showing phone references? You mean the apps?
If you're talking apps, get root explorer, nav. to system/app/
mount r/w, then add the suffix .bak too app phone related apps (doing phone.apk LAST). It doesn't do anything, but helps some people sleep at night.
mms.apk
telephoneprovider?.apk
phone.apk (will cause force closes...just hard shut down and reboot)
Haven't run into any apps that need these (dropbox used to), but good to keep around.
Try moving angry birds from sd card to "phone" if that is where it is located.

Hmmmm... Strange. Have you tried to boot into clockwork and fix permissions there?
Just want to make sure-- you did format your data & cache partition as ext4 right?
I'm not sure about the ext4...is that something different than just formatting through CWM.
Angry Birds is installed on 'phone' and not the SD card.
I did figure out how to remove phone apps, thanks!
We have multiple nooks so I tried Phiremod's on a different one and really liked it. I ended up reflashing this nook to Phiremod and am so far, really pleased...angry birds still won't load, but I guess we can live without it!
power button and home button problem
I just installed the latest cm7.0.2 build, and I found that my home button does not work...
also, the power button only has reboot and poweroff selections, the other selections in cm7.0.0 were lost...
Anyone saw this problem?
I tried to set the home button settings in ADWLauncher->General Behavior->Home button binding, but it does not work...
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I don't have any of those problems. I just flashed 7.0.2 Stable build too.
Did you wipe the Dalvik Cache?
Just a thought.

If Rom Manager doesn't allow you fix permissions, open superuser and make sure it's allowed superuser access.
Does it bother you that there are 2 Gallery apps when you load up jelly bean and gapps?
yeah me too.
So what i did, was mad sure i had titanium backup root on my sdcard.
I then installed Jelly Bean, and let it boot up (i did not flash gapps)
I installed titanium, and then i uninstalled the gallery that came with JB.
rebooted into recovery, flashed gapps.
and bang. no more double gallery
I had four at one point the other day, hahaha. But yeah, it's strangely weird that there's no consistency in the naming scheme.
So no ideas which one is safe to uninstall?

haven't tried anything from the market yet, but I randomly uninstalled one and everything still works fine. Maybe I got lucky?

I used Titanium to see which was the older version and uninstalled that one.
In system/app you'll find two apk for gallery:
GalleryGoogle.apk
Gallery2.apk
They are the same, but GalleryGoogle.apk is the one with picasa sync. Gallery2.apk will only show you the photos stored in your device
Can someone that is still running a stock rom extract their stock email app for me please? I have had trouble with it and my magazine after deleting my magazine and someone suggested that try writing over my stock email in system/app. Thanks

I know that when I was in the process of de-bloating my phone in the beginning, on one of the earlier pass through of freezing apps in TiBu, I froze My Magazine and it caused the stock Email app to randomly Force Close especially when I tried to open emails via the drop down notification bar.
Not sure what issue you're having with the Email app, but just thought that I would throw this out there just in case since you might actually need the My Magazine app and not replacing the Email app.

I have the magazinehome.apk, the magazines.apk, the lounge.apk, and the magazine.odex.....i have put them into system/app and changed permissions to rw-r-r and other various combinations and rebooted, but have still had trouble with my magazine either showing it's not installed, making TW fc and/or making the mail app not function correctly.

So yesterday I was browsing the Google Play Store when I noticed Google keyboard wasn't installed even though I have it so I attempt to install it again and it failed. I thought it was just a bug so I left it and the next day when I restarted my phone Google keyboard just disappeared. I can't use it anymore I can only third-party keyboard from playstore. Help please I need to get Google keyboard back because I'm so far not liking third-party keyboard. I don't know what I did wrong but tried to fix it by wiping system data and reflash the ROM and G apps but that didn't fix it. So please help me fix this problem thank you in advance.

It says "this app conflict with the existing app by the same name" Google keyboard doesn't show up on titanium backup though.
In your apps settings, check for disabled apps and see if it's there to reenable

How do I do that I'm running cm 14.1 android 7.1 and I don't see that option. BTW if I select show system apps, it's not in there either. BTW I just tested, disable apps will show up on titanium back-up as frozen and a option to defrost but google keyboard isn't even in titanium back-up.
